Adele J. Gonzalez said...: I saw this movie yesterday and I am still under its influence. I will write more about my impressions, but at this point I would like to encourage you to see it. It provides a perfect Lenten reflection.; April 4, 2011 at 6:48 AM
Barbara R. said...: Remember - "Some times I feel like a bird sitting on a branch. I don't now whether to stay or fly away." Girl's reply - "No father, you are the branch. Without you, we birds have no place at all to sit."
One of the best definitions I have heard of what a minister ought to be. Doesn't even matter if the branch is broken or misformed, it still offers support to all who choose to sit there.; April 5, 2011 at 3:43 PM

WORDS OF WISDOM

Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.’ And they cast lots to divide his clothing. And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, ‘He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!’ The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, ‘If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!’ There was also an inscription over him, ‘This is the King of the Jews.’

One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, ‘Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!’ But the other rebuked him, saying, ‘Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He replied, ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.’ (Luke 23:32--43)
